Hi Joann. Sounds as if you are getting impatient. First let me tell you to hang in there. I researched WLS for a year & a half before I decided it was for me. I used Dr Rose. Several times while I was in the hospital , OR etc.. I heard someone use the term "meticulous" when speaking of Dr Rose & her surgeries. Knowing what I know now, I'd NEVER use anyone but her. Her complication rate is the lowest of anyone I researched. Yes, it takes time to get a surgery date with her, but it's because she is darn good at what she does & everyone is standing in line. I'm a nurse & was very impressed with her & the hospital staff. Do what she says & if it means more tests, she's doing it for your benefit & safety as well as her own. No-one wants to lose a pt. when it could have been avoided with a few pre-op tests. <p> Good luck & keep us updated!
